I didn't have any cosmetic surgery or bood job. You never know how your dd is going to be when she grows up. [ Reply | More ]

It depends on her personality. I would definitely get her involved in team sports if she's interested. You want her to have a chance to experience success with her body that has nothing to do with her looks. Team sports will also give her a chance to develope relationships that are based on similar interest and abilities that aren't based on her looks. [ Reply | More ]
